sentiments
Opinions and feelings
Sentiments are feelings or opinions, especially ones formed through reflection rather than pure logic.
The word often suggests tender or nostalized emotion: My sentiments exactly, The card expressed lovely sentiments.
In formal contexts, sentiments may be attitudes toward something: public sentiment on the issue, anti-government sentiments.
The singular sentiment leans toward feeling; the plural often toward opinion.
